Big feelings can hit fast and hard — for your child, and for you. This set of 60+ printable calming tools gives your child a gentle, visual way to name what they're feeling and find a path back to calm, instead of getting stuck in overwhelm.
Instead of guessing what's wrong or riding out a meltdown, your child can point to how they feel, choose a calming strategy that works for them, and start to self-regulate — building emotional awareness that lasts well beyond any one hard moment.
Print them once, keep them close by — at home, in a calm-down corner, or wherever big feelings need a soft place to land.
What's Inside
80+ printable calming tools — feelings cards, colored emotion zones, 'What to Do When I'm Angry' step cards, calming strategy cards, and body-sensation cards — plus a feelings thermometer, feelings wheel, visual breathing cards, a 'Choose Your Tool' board, and a daily feelings log.
Who It's For
Designed for children ages 2–8 on the autism spectrum who experience big emotions, meltdowns, or difficulty self-regulating — and for the parents and caregivers supporting them.
